You can put this solution on YOUR website! A box contains three blue balls and three white balls. if two balls are drawn one at a time, find the probability that both balls are blue if the draws are made as follows:
a). with replacement
1st draw : P(blue) = 3/6 = 1/2
2nd draw : P(blue) = 3/6 = 1/2
P(2 blue in two draws = (1/2)^2 = 1/4
---------------------------------------------
b.) without replacement
1st draw : P(blue) = 3/6 = 1/2
2nd draw : P blue) = 2/5
P(2 blue in two draws) = (1/2)(2/5) = 1/5
=============================================
